Dear Pennies and Pallers,

In letter one, Shannon writes to us asking what our predictions for the future of small town America are. Letter two comes from a paller who asks for advice as they face a separation and are looking to reimagine their midlife.

We also discuss capitalism, artificial intelligence, parrots that mimic people, and more!

We wish you well, sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk and Rory Scovel
